Objective There is no quantization scheme for the early ambulation in patients with gastrointestinal tumor after operation of enhanced recovery .The aim of this study was to explore a suitable objective method of postoperative ambulation for gastro -intestinal tumor patients . Methods Sixty six gastrointestinal tumor postoperative patients were randomly assigned to two groups :ex-perimental group ( 33 cases ) and control group ( 33 cases ) .Enhanced recovery was adopted in the both groups afterthe operation . Wireless smart bracelets ( fitbit flex) were used in the experimental group , and the ambulation of patients was monitored by the hand of synchronous real time computer digital panel .At the same time, the patients was supervised for positive ambulation . Traditional quantitative methods of electronic pedometer were used in the control group.The postoperative ambulation , effect and compliance were compared between the two groups . Results Postoperative ambula-tion steps in the experimental group were increased compared with the control group on the days 1, 2, and 3postoperative, and the data were (208.70 ±45.76) vs (144.36 ±47.68), (560.73 ±148.67) vs (407.00 ±85.92), and (894.70 ±91.68) vs (674.00 ±73.06) steps (P<0.05).The first time of early ambulation, flatus, ca-tharsis, and compliance of ambulation showed significant difference in the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Wireless intelligent monitoring bracelet is objective and effective for monitoring and quantifying postoperative ambulation .It is superior to the traditional quantitative methods , and can improve the effect and compliance of the ambulation .Moreover , it can promote postoperative recovery in patient with enhanced recovery surgery .

Objective To explore the nursing essentials of complicated incision infection and embedding syndrome after percutaneous endoscopy gastrojejunostomy(PEGJ). Methods Comprehensive treatment and care including improved nursing methods, negative pressure suction, the dressing strengthening, and enteral nutrition. Results The swelling of the incision gradually subsided. On the 18th day, there was slight redness around the tube, no exudate, no fever, and the incision healed well. On the 20th day, family members were taught with routine maintenance method of the PEG/J tube, and the patient was discharged from hospital with the tube home for continue treatment. Conclusion Comprehensive nursing methods according to cause analysis can improve the curative effect of complications after PEGJ implantation.

Background:
and Purpose: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a severe central nervous system disorder mediated by NMDAR antibodies that damages neurons. We investigated the correlation between cytoskeletal autoantibodies and the clinical severity in patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis.
Methods:
Non-NMDAR autoantibodies were identified by screening matched cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the serum samples of 45 consecutive patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis and 60 healthy individuals against N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1-transfected and nontransfected human embryonic kidney 293T cells. Immunocytochemistry was performed to assess antibody binding in rat brain sections and primary cortical neurons. Cell-based assays and Western blotting were applied to identify autoantibodies targeting medium neurofilaments (NFMs). We compared clinical characteristics between patients with NMDAR encephalitis who were positive and negative for anti-NFM-autoantibodies.
Results:
Anti-NFM autoantibodies were detected in both the serum and CSF in one patient (2%) and in the serum only in six patients (13%). No antibodies were detected in the serum of healthy controls (7/45 vs. 0/60, p=0.0016). Four of the seven patients with anti-NFM autoantibodies in serum were children (57%), and three (43%) had abnormalities in brain magnetic resonance imaging. These patients responded well to immunotherapy, and either no significant or only mild disability was observed at the last follow-up. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis did not differ with the presence of anti-NFM autoantibodies.
Conclusions
Anti-NFM autoantibodies may be present in patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis, indicating underlying neuronal damage. A large cohort study is warranted to investigate the clinical differences between patients with NMDAR encephalitis according to their antiNFM antibody status.
